In a normal season, the Yankees coming to Kauffman Stadium would be enough to generate buzz.

But there’s more to it this week.

Slugger Jac Caglianone will be making his Kauffman Stadium debut on Tuesday, and Royals fans likely will give New York’s Jazz Chisholm an earful during the three-game series because of comments the Yankees infielder made during last year’s ALDS.

Fans will be able to watch all three Royals-Yankees games on national television. Tuesday night’s game will be broadcast on TBS, while the other two contests will be on the MLB Network (for out-of-market viewers).

Tuesday’s game also will be streamed on Max, which is the HBO channel.

The Royals’ game Sunday against the Athletics will be simulcast on KCTV-5 and KCMO-TV (Ch. 62).

So there are a lot of ways to watch the Royals play this week, whether you live in Kansas City or elsewhere in the country.

Here is how to watch the Royals’ six games this week, with radio details. Fans always have the option to stream games on the FanDuel Sports app, which also is available on Amazon Prime.
